One Of The Best Men's Weight Loss Before And After Stories

Let’s look at an amazing men's weight loss success story: before and after Suture Sculpt ESG. Meet our friend and patient, DJ, who today is a successful DJ (hence the nickname), Producer, and remixer. He lost 90 pounds after undergoing the Suture Sculpt endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty procedure.

The Back Story

DJ didn’t historically have issues with his weight and was actually the soccer team captain in high school, about to accept a D1 position when an injury took him out of the game. He then became a disc jockey and re-mixer, and his lifestyle drastically changed. DJ admitted that his eating habits were horrible and that he ate a steady diet of junk food. Without the continuous exercise from soccer, coupled with the late hours he was working, his eating habits caught up with him.

A Wake-Up Call At A Doctor’s Visit

First, he put on 10 pounds, which led to 20, then 30, until he became heavier than he had ever been at 250 pounds. He did not understand how his weight was affecting his health, but a visit to his doctor and a few tests later revealed his sugar levels were 450. (A normal level 2 hours after eating is less than 140 mg/d.) The doctor was surprised he was able to walk around and function. DJ was diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure, which required a lot of ongoing medication.

He Tried Unsuccessfully To Lose Weight On His Own

He, like many men who attempt weight loss on their own, tried many things to lose weight, including a low-carb diet, the lemon diet, and pretty much everything he possibly could think of, but nothing worked for him. He even began working out at the gym and eating healthy, but it was still not enough.

One day Dr. Batash did a commercial at the radio station where he worked, and he learned about Suture Sculpt ESG. He was skeptical at first but decided to find out more about the procedure and scheduled a consultation with the Batash Endoscopic Weight Loss Center. He made a life-changing decision that day, and although nervous, he was also very excited about his decision to schedule his Suture Sculpt ESG procedure.

DJ said that the day of the procedure he was a bit nervous and scared, but when he woke up after ESG he was shocked that he felt no pain. Within two hours, he was up and walking around, and after only 12 hours, he felt like himself again and resumed his normal routine. Suture Sculpt ESG changed his life.

DJ told us during an interview that he is so thankful to Dr. Batash and the entire staff for everything they did for him and that they made him feel like family. He said diabetes affected his life every day, and now his life is so much better.

Suture Sculpt Changed His Life And DJ Now Has One Of The Best Men's Weight Loss Stories To Tell

Now, two years later, he is down 90 pounds to 160 pounds, his high blood pressure is under control, and his diabetes is in remission. He feels great! After his experience, DJ would encourage anyone who is contemplating the decision to lose weight to "Put yourself first, take care of yourself, for the future of your family and your kids."

DJ also gave the best advice to others who desire to lose weight and improve their health.

"The ESG procedure will get you started, but after that, it’s on you. You need to learn how to eat healthy, and you need to watch your portions."

What Are Non-Surgical Weight Loss Tools?

Historically, when an individual needed help losing weight, their only option was to undergo bariatric surgery such as a gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, etc. While these surgeries are pretty effective, they come with a price: risks, complications, and an extensive recovery time.

Today, there are endoscopic procedures that can produce close to the same results as these traditional surgeries but without the risks or the long recovery. These procedures use a special device called an endoscope that is lowered into the patient’s mouth and down their throat to their stomach. The endoscope is outfitted with a special lens and a camera that allows the doctor to perform the procedure with precision. The entire process is done from the inside, so there are no incisions of any kind.

The two endoscopic procedures we are highlighting today with these men's weight loss success stories are an intragastric weight loss balloon and Suture Sculpt endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). Here is a quick overview of these two non-surgical weight loss procedures:

Intragastric Weight Loss Balloons

Gastric balloons are medical devices constructed of soft silicone and are usually sphere-shaped. They are introduced to the patient’s stomach while deflated using an endoscope in a procedure that takes between 20 and 30 minutes. Once the balloon is in the right position in the stomach, it is inflated with gas or liquid to take up a substantial amount of space in the patient's stomach. This ensures that the individual cannot eat very much during one meal, and the balloon also helps them feel full longer. The balloon is only left in the stomach temporarily and is typically removed after about six months, but the length of time will depend on which type of balloon is used.

While the balloon is in the patient’s stomach, they work through a 12-month weight loss plan with the support of an entire team of professionals. They learn why and how to make lifestyle changes that promote weight loss and improve their health, as well as real-life strategies they can apply to keep them on track and maintain their weight loss in the long run.

Suture Sculpt ESG

ESG involves making the stomach shorter and more narrow by folding it similar to an accordion and placing sutures to hold these folds in place. This reduces the size of the stomach by about 70%, so patients must eat much smaller portions going forward. The smaller stomach also retains the food they eat for a longer period of time, so they stay satisfied between meals.

The entire procedure is completed from inside the patient's stomach with the use of an endoscope. Special tools are lowered down the patient’s throat to perform the procedure, including a device that strategically places full-thickness sutures that hold the new shape and size of the stomach. Most patients recover within a week of the Suture Sculpt ESG procedure, and patients who adjust their lifestyle and mindset and understand that they no longer need as much food to make them feel full have achieved remarkable weight loss results.

There is no need to continue the uphill battle of trying to lose weight on your own.
